minus-squareHyperrealitylinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoI buy them cash, no contract, prepay. Trade in value is usually really low, something like 20 euros max. I keep the old phone as a back-up and there’s no need to wipe it. Usually cheaper to buy the new phone on amazon or wherever. They don’t offer trade in, but it still works out cheaper. No contract, cheaper phones.
